state capital and centrally located about one hour from Vermont, Massachusetts and the Maine border. We have been raising labradors since we brought home Beretta Girl, our first chocolate lab in 1992. Though no longer with us and dearly missed, Beretta Girl is still behind many of the dogs we produce today as we are very glad to have continued building on her lines that have proven intelligence, a strong desire to please, good looks and great health and temperament. Our dogs are a very important part of our lives as well as an integrated part of the family. Hunting is only a small part of what we do and all of our dogs are foremost great companions and easy to live with. Many activities include time spent with the dogs from exhibiting at local dog shows, hunting and training for upland game birds and waterfowl, enjoying a walk in the woods where we may happen on a deer shed or dabbling in the fun sport of agility. Kate is an active member of Merrimack Valley Kennel Club and a member of Ducks Unlimited and NRA. Davikas Labrador Retrievers, Reg. Our kennel name Davikas is a combination of David and Kate and without both our commitment and unique skills and love for animals and attention to their comfort and needs we could never even have gone this far. Davikas has a few carefully planned litters every year. We believe it important to spend time socializing and interacting with each puppy to get them off to the best start possible. They are raised in the house, handled by all ages of humans that live here and given lots of exposures to help them adjust well to the outside world and their new family pack. We also keep in contact with many families over the years and love to offer guidance and support to anyone who chooses to keep in contact with us. Being a breeder and providing many people and families with their best companion has been a tremendous source of pride and what I consider our family's life work and passion. Our breeding goals are to raise healthy, intelligent, keen and biddable labs with a strong desire to please. The puppies we produce possess the abilities to function as retrieving gun dogs but are equally adaptable to a family's daily routine. We strive to preserve the integrity of the breed that makes labs just such a wonderful and popular dog. Please contact us at at any time to find out about planned and available litters. How much would a Labrador puppy cost?You can expect to pay $800-$1000 for a purebred Labrador from a reputable breeder, but if you go through rescues or shelters with your pup it will cost around $100-200 depending on age and area.
Which color Labrador is the calmest?More yellow Labs have been bred to be therapy and service dogs, which means they have been bred for calmness.
Are there 2 types of Labradors?Today the Labrador comes in two varieties: the American (tall and lanky) or English (short and stocky). Both American and English ancestries present all three color versions—black, blonde, and brown.
Where can I find a good Labrador puppy?Check that the puppy (and any other pups in the litter, if relevant) don't have any colorful patterns on the fur, such as part 1 color and part another or with white flashes in their fur. The puppy's coat should be 1 solid color, such as black, chocolate brown, or golden-yellow.
